do you accept the view that shylock in the merchant of Venice is the monster and a devil.give reason for support your answer
Answers
Answer:
In early productions of The Merchant of Venice, actors played Shylock as either a monster or an evil clown, enforcing the idea that he is the villain of the play. In many ways he certainly seems to be the antagonist of the story: one of his primary functions is as the obstacle standing between Portia and Bassanio’s wedded bliss. He is described by other characters as obsessed with money, and a cruel father to his daughter, Jessica. Antonio and the other Christians of Venice routinely abuse Shylock, spitting on him and calling him a “cutthroat dog.” Shylock himself seems to relish his role as antagonist, saying about Antonio “I hate him for he is a Christian/… If I can catch him once upon the hip/ I will feed fat the ancient grudge

Explanation:
No, because Shylock wants revenge for years of Antonio's mistreatment. Antonio hates people of the Jewish faith and always speaks badly about Shylock's merchant deals. Readers may note the irony of Shylock hating Antonio because of his Christianity, but seeking revenge because Antonio discriminates against his Judaism.
